it has a subtext of “it doesn’t matter how good of a man you are, you will never be good enough for me, because I’m going to chose the bear every single time.”
No. I know plenty of women who would choose me over the bear. It isn't a choice between a man of their choice and a bear, it's between a man they don't know and a bear. That a woman who doesn't know me would pick the bear doesn't bother me.
